Is the injected vaccine for swine flu live?
No, in the US the injection forms of the vaccines are made from inactivated "dead" virus. The nasal spray vaccine contains weakened virus that can not make you get the flu but is called a Live Attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV). There is a new form of injected vaccine for the flu in the 2011-2012 flu season in the US that is intradermal instead of the intramuscular route, it also contains inactivated virus particles. See the related question below.

Is swine flu virus a latent or a active virus?
If the question is whether the virus in the vaccine is inactivated "dead" or is attenuated "weakened", then the H1N1/09 pandemic swine flu vaccine comes in both types. The vaccine for the injection contains only inactivated virus particles. The vaccine for nasal spray contains viruses that have been altered to be too weak to make an otherwise healthy person ill, but will still cause a good immune response for immunity. If by "active" you mean is there vaccine currently available on the market, then in the US now there is seasonal flu vaccine available and it contains the vaccine for three different types of flu. One of those is H1N1/09 swine flu. You can get the vaccination in the usual places for annual flu shots. See related questions below for more...
What is a vaccine made with live weakened flu viruses that do not cause the flu?
In the US, that would be the vaccine used in the H1N1/09 nasal spray vaccinations. These weakened viruses used to make that nasal vaccine are called attenuated, which means weakened. The weakening is usually done with chemicals. People aged 2 to 49 can use this nasal spray vaccine. Those younger or older should use the flu shots which are made with inactivated ("dead") viruses.
